Amazon and Best Buy Knock Up to 50% Off Already Affordable Motorola Phones

Motorola makes some of our favorite budget-friendly phones in 2023, and right now you can snag one for as much as $500 off the usual price.

While Apple, Google and Samsung may make some of the most popular phones on the market right now, they’re not the only brands with something to offer. Earning a spot on our list of the best phones under $500, Motorola has some excellent budget-friendly alternatives, and right now, you can get your hands on one of these affordable devices for even less. Amazon, Best Buy and Motorola are offering discounts on a variety of current and previous-gen models, with some discounted by as much as 50%. There’s no set expiration for these deals, so we’d recommend getting your order in sooner rather than later if you don’t want to miss out on these savings.

There are quite a few different discounted Motorola phones to choose from right now. One of the most affordable options is the new 2023 Moto G Stylus, which you can pick up for just $180, $20 off the list price. It has 64GB of storage, a 50MP camera and a built-in stylus, but no 5G support. If you want 5G support on a budget, then you can upgrade to the 2022 Moto G Power, which features 6GB of RAM, 256GB of storage and a 6.5-inch HD display. It’s on sale for $200 at Amazon, which is half off the usual price. There’s also the 2023 Moto G Power, which features a more powerful processor and slightly upgraded display, and is currently $20 off, dropping the price down to $280.
